Tecsun PL-990X/PL-330 New Hidden Feature

I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a buial that will satify everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

Admittedly I do not do much with MW BCB, but yeah, I have used the feature for using an external antenna for MW with my PL-330.

The PL-880 also has a similar feature.  The magic key presses extend the shortwave band down to the 540 KHz.  Just be careful, the Tecsun radios tend to overload.
